‘Twas lies undid the Democrats

The election landscape from Tuesday night echoes a simple yet resounding refrain; that you can only pour mocha latte down America’s leg for so long and expect us to believe it’s raining.

Although it isn’t always the case and sometimes it takes a while to become apparent, Tuesday’s election results in particular show the price to be paid for deceit and dishonesty when it’s adopted as a key plank in one’s political platform, not to mention one’s morality. Whether it’s careless accusations of racism wielded as a moral weapon, proclaiming your opponents an “existential threat to Democracy” or repeating the lie that a man can be a woman – people, Americans in particular, won’t accept being lied to forever.

So blatant was the dishonesty in the early Biden Administration and so complicit was the corrupt mainstream media in providing cover that the president and his administration undertook little effort to even hide the deceit. The early hours recension of Donald Trump’s border security policies was so unshrouded an attempt to import a new political majority for Democrats that they barely even tried to make up an excuse for it. With the attaboy media loyally fetching their stick, Biden and crew construed that their mandate to reverse all things Trump was universal and complete. There was no need to worry about their chosen direction; the only people in the country they deemed worthwhile already agreed with them.

With the people who mattered already firmly in support, it was easy to push the illogic of the Title IX change and threaten federal funding for any school that didn’t swear allegiance to the new federal notion that a boy can be a girl. It was easy to push the fable that Green Energy was a plausible solution for the country; that hiring based on previously forbidden criteria like race and sex and sexual orientation wasn’t just allowed but encouraged as long as it accomplished the right objective; that massive consumer inflation that rippled through every aspect of the economy was “transitory” and was assuredly divorced from trillions in irresponsible government spending, and that those dollars weren’t, in reality, simply a means of pursuing a social and cultural reconstruction plan and repayment for political favor.

The deceit continued, shadowed by Biden’s complicity in a criminal influence peddling scheme conducted while he was vice president and revealed by his drug addled progeny’s errant laptop – a charge with evidentiary support initially dismissed by the lapdog media and which has not even begun to be addressed yet by law.

It all worked for a while, until the people stopped buying it, Biden turned to mush, and Donald Trump dodged a bullet. 

Terrified of losing power but still unable to be truthful in its quest, the party elites executed a coup to oust the cratering Biden and replace him with someone similarly as incapable of governing but easily manipulable by those really in charge. In reality, the paint had begun to peel long before this point.

The backlash should be apparent. Donald Trump is now President elect. The U.S. Senate, which along with the president blockaded legislative initiatives from the House for the past two years, is now in Republican hands and the lower House itself appears to have remained under control of the GOP. Clearly there’s no confusion on the message being sent by voters.

The revolt against deceit surpassed D.C. politics and indeed swept across the country even to Kansas. Republican state senators like Mike Thompson and Kellie Warren beat back challenges to retain their roles in the Kansas legislature’s power structure. Republicans gained a House seat in the 15th District in Olathe, removed Democrat Dennis Miller from the 14th District of the Kansas House and defended a Democrat challenge in the 29th District as well. Across the Kansas plains, Republicans retained their seats by solid margins.

Governor Laura Kelly’s infamous “Middle Of The Road” political action committee, another lie presenting itself as a vehicle to fund “moderate” candidates but which in reality supported only Democrats leaning favorably toward Kelly’s leftist agenda, proved a dismal failure to its donors and beneficiaries. All in all Republican supermajorities in the Kansas legislature are preserved and Laura Kelly looks ahead to her final two years in office as two more sessions of long, cold winter. 

Now, Republicans in Washington and across the country set about working within a clear voter mandate to fix what their predecessors broke, and Democrats endure the sting of loss and the lesson that truth still matters.
